The amendment to remove the offence of blasphemy from the Constitution will be discussed in the evening followed by a Sinn Féin motion on the future of post offices.

Budget 2019 is just three weeks away and the resumption of the Dáil will come against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, as this is the last Budget under its agreed confidence and supply agreement.

Varadkar said he wanted to get talks under way on renewing this confidence and supply agreement with Fianna Fáil before the Budget, but Micheál Martin rejected the claim that the government cannot function without an extension to the agreement.

Also on the horizon is Sinn Féin’s motion of no confidence against Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy. Housing is set to feature strongly over the next Dáil term, as some opposition parties seek to place it at the forefront of debate heading into the next general election.
